By the time you make it to your reception line, chances are you’ll be deliriously happy and deliriously tired. Even so, every attendee deserves to feel like your No. 1 guest — especially if you’ve never met them before. Here are three tips to charming encounters.

MAKE THE CONNECTION
Whether they’re friends of your parents or guests of the groom, find out the connection as your attendees come through the line. Not only will it be fun to play “who’s who,” you’ll engage your guests and validate the effort they made to come.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOUIt takes time and effort to attend wedding receptions, so be sure and thank every guest you talk to.

SINCERELY SPEAKINGIn meeting and thanking your guests, be sincere! Even if you won’t remember names and faces, enjoy and relish every moment with strangers and loved ones alike.

WHAT TO LEARN If you're intimidated or scared by the non-traditional — don't be. Your wedding will be beautiful and perfect simply because it's yours.
